According to the Harvard BIG website, students are placed on a training grant for the first 2 years for stipend and tuition.

Does this mean that for the rest of years in the program, students are expected to find financial support through fellowships / etc for stipend and tuition??

The professor usually supports you for the rest of the program, so there's no need to worry about money! Merry Christmas everyone!

The lab you join is responsible for paying for you, but they'll want you to apply for NSF/NIH F31/other grants, since paying personnel and overhead is a major expense to a lab. Also having a fellowship is a big plus to getting into the lab you want.

Did they email you or respond to an email you sent them?

Email:

"We have had a large number of highly qualified applicants, nearly all of whom have extensive research experience and have had successful academic preparation.  We typically make offers to about 10 - 12% of applicants."

Edit: sorry i never sent them any email.

I applied to Computational Bio. too. Got UCSD, Cornell tri-i, Pitts-system biology, Caltech Biology (no feedback since on-line interview, seems failed). Hope to see your guys in Cornell.  

Woot woot =). We now have 6 people from this thread going to Cornell Tri-I. It will be fun =P.

You'll see me at UCSD as well.
